We've got two numbers: 1090 and 3178. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 8 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 7 in column 2 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 1 in column 3 and get 2.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 3 in column 4 and get 4.

So, 1090 + 3178 = 4268.
